    بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Muslims in different parts of the world have different practices between two rakats of Taraweeh like some say: سبحان ذي الملك والملكوت، سبحان ذي العزة والعظمة والهيبة والكبرياء والجبروت، سبحان الحي الذي لا يموت، سبوح قدوس رب الملائكة والروح others prefer: لاRead more

    بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

    Muslims in different parts of the world have different practices between two rakats of Taraweeh like some say:

    سبحان ذي الملك والملكوت، سبحان ذي العزة والعظمة والهيبة والكبرياء والجبروت، سبحان الحي الذي لا يموت، سبوح قدوس رب الملائكة والروح

    others prefer: لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، يحيي ويميت، وهو على كل شئ قدير

    some also recites Surah Al-Ikhlas and Darood.

    No doubt that all these are good deeds in themselves. However, it is worth noting that saying these Dhikrs or Duas or recitations is not narrated in any Hadith or action of a companion of the Prophet. Hence, this comes in the circle of innovation and Bid’ah and therefore it is necessary to avoid this as the Messenger of Allah says:

    مَن أَحْدَثَ في أَمْرِنَا هذا ما ليسَ فِيهِ فَهو رَدّ

    “Whoever introduces into our religion that is not a part of it is rejected”

    [Muttafaqun ‘Alaih, Sahih Bukhari:2697, Sahih Muslim:1718]

    واللہ اعلم بالصواب

    Jazak Allah

    In a two-rak’ah (unit) prayer, such as the Dhuhr or Asr prayers in Islam, the Tashahhud is recited in the final sitting position (sujood). Here’s what to say during the Tashahhud: Sit with your back straight in the final sitting position. Raise your right index finger while keeping the other fingers closed, pointing it toward the qiblah (the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca).Recite the following words in Arabic:أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُTransliteration: Ashhadu alla ilaha illallah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu.Translation: “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.”After reciting this, you can lower your finger and complete the prayer with the Tasleem, which involves turning your head to the right and saying, “As-salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah” (peace and mercy of Allah be upon you) to end the prayer. Please note that the Tashahhud is an essential part of the prayer and should be recited with sincerity and devotion.
